Liu Qinghuan asked: "What information can you provide me?"
Even as he said this, he felt his heart go cold. The two pieces of information about the Black Claw Mountains and Fingerbone Peak mentioned by the three people before finally allowed him to piece together the map.
Fortunately, the Black Claw Mountains are vast and occupy a huge area, so he immediately found its location on the map, and it was not on another continent across the sea that he was worried about. But unfortunately, it did not disappear either.
The moon realm is the floating moon realm above the dark moon realm.
If he wants to go to the Great Mirage at the southernmost point of the Dark Moon Realm, he must pass through most of the Floating Moon Realm, climb over the extremely difficult-to-climb Langdian Snow Peak between the two realms, and then cross the entire Dark Moon Realm to reach it!
The distance in between is so far that it can no longer be described as a hundred and eighty thousand miles! What we have to pass in the middle is almost the most prosperous place in the entire Yin Yue Blood Realm, with the highest concentration of monks.
Liu Qinghuan felt extremely depressed. What faced him and all the monks who took on this mission was a long and bumpy distance that was almost insurmountable.
Looking at the opposite side, the three people exchanged glances, obviously using their spiritual consciousness to discuss. Liu Qinghuan was not in a hurry. The information he wanted to know most had been obtained, and he only needed to take one step at a time.
What is worth pondering is that these three people have hidden their cultivation and pretended to be mortals hiding in this small village. Although this was almost obvious to Liu Qinghuan, if they were far away, it would not be easy to detect their existence.
Among the three people, the female cultivator was obviously the main one. After the discussion was completed, the female cultivator smiled and said, "I would like to ask, is my fellow Taoist a ghost cultivator?"
Liu Qinghuan frowned: "What does this question mean?"
The female cultivator looked him up and down: "Although your appearance is not as pale as that of ordinary ghost cultivators, but if we read it correctly, the death energy that occasionally escapes from your body is extremely strong, and it can only be found in ghost cultivators.
Such pure death energy."
The sword of life and death in Liu Qinghuan's sleeve swung against his arm like a fish.
He is the holy body of green wood. His spiritual power is extremely pure, and he also carries the clean and gentle meaning of wood energy. This cannot be covered up with magical weapons. In short, he does not look like a demon cultivator. So he used the sword intention of life and death.
A trace of black energy lingers around him, covering up the strong vitality in his body.
Liu Qinghuan looked at the female cultivator for a moment, and still said: "So what do you mean by asking me to be a ghost cultivator?"
"Well, this is what we are going to talk about later." The female monk looked outside the tea shop, set up a soundproof shield, and then said: "Since my fellow Taoist is sincere, I am not lying.
.In fact, it has been a few days since the three of us escaped from it, but we took great risks to go to this town just to learn about the situation in the Black Claw Mountains. We are really helpless. The current situation
It’s extremely detrimental to us.”
"Oh?" Liu Qinghuan said expressionlessly: "What's the disadvantage?"
The female cultivator pondered and said: "My fellow Taoists escaped from the Black Claw Mountains because the fighting there was too fierce, right? No matter how nice the promises made by those big families are, we, the small sect monks and casual cultivators with low cultivation level,
After all, we are just pawns paving the way. No one cares about our lives, of course we can only care about them ourselves."
The male cultivator in black clothes next to him echoed: "Yes, we were also fooled by lard at the beginning! I heard that the south has occupied a continent in the other world, and the big sects of the big families are red-eyed and instigating.
, so I was temporarily blinded by money, and only thought about countless spiritual stones and immortal cultivation resources, but I still saw clearly that if I want to get any reward, I have to pay the price in blood!"
To the south... Liu Qinghuan thought to himself, it should refer to the Dark Moon Realm, right? I heard that the relationship between the Floating Moon Realm and the Dark Moon Realm is not very good, and they often conflict over the territory.
The male cultivator in black clothes continued to sigh: "Fortunately, it's not too late now. If a great cultivator of the Transformation God hadn't suddenly rushed over from the opposite interface, and he was also a great cultivator who was going through a tribulation, only a few thunderbolts would have rushed towards him.
Everyone at the front has been killed, and I still can’t wake up!”
"Yes!" Another jade-faced male cultivator nodded hurriedly and said with lingering fear: "It's too scary. Everyone on the Finger Bone Peak didn't even fight for a round, and they were basically chopped to pieces! No one escaped,
Even the Nascent Soul cultivators didn’t escape! Fortunately we didn’t grab the position in front, otherwise we wouldn’t be alive now!”
"Speaking of this, I feel chilled! Those big families are hiding in the back, and most of the sect monks and casual cultivators are in front. It's really miserable!"
"Not entirely. Have you ever noticed that some aristocratic families who danced happily were so overwhelmed by the profits and the big pie this time that they also sent many people to rush ahead. Now they can be regarded as stealing chickens.
It’s a waste of rice!”
"Hmph! Those who rushed in front were not direct descendants of their family, but just outsiders and marginalized children of the clan."
The two sighed together, and the female cultivator interrupted: "Okay, let's not discuss these meaningless things anymore. It's not safe here. It's really not the place to talk. Let's keep the story short."
She looked at Liu Qinghuan: "So, we can't go to die anymore, we can only leave this place as soon as possible. However, we got a message that maybe there were too many monks who escaped before, and those big families began to arrest them by force.
Most of the people running in front of us have been arrested."
Liu Qinghuan understood: "The way forward is not feasible and the way back is blocked. This is what you want to tell me."
He rubbed his brows in distress: "What should we do? Fellow Taoists, do you have a way to escape?"
The three of them exchanged glances again, and the female cultivator smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we haven't introduced each other's names yet."
She cupped her hands and said: "Yuan Ya, late stage of foundation building, a member of the outer sect of the Beast Taming Sect."
The reason for reporting their cultivation level is naturally because they, including Liu Qinghuan, have concealed their cultivation level.
The male cultivator in black clothes said: "Xu Shida, casual cultivator... uh, in the middle stage of foundation building."
The jade-faced male cultivator also cupped his hands and said: "Guo Xu, the foundation-building period is complete. Oh, I come from a noble family, so I'm not afraid of making you laugh when I say it. My family has long been in decline, and now there are only a few cultivators in the clan."
Liu Qinghuan thought of the information about the Yin Yue Blood Realm that he had read before. Another big difference between this world of immortality and Yunmengze is that the top forces in this world are some extremely large and ancient aristocratic families, who maintain their noble status through blood and family inheritance.
status, and controls a large amount of resources for cultivating immortals. Next are the sects of cultivating immortals, and then the casual cultivators.
Liu Qinghuan replied: "Zhang Qingfeng's cultivation level is the same as that of fellow Daoist Xu. He is also a casual cultivator."
It was the first time he encountered a sect specializing in controlling beasts. His consciousness couldn't help but glance at the waist of a female cultivator named Yuan Ya, but he didn't see any spirit beast bag.
However, she is not the one with the highest level of cultivation among these three people, but they use her as their guardian, but they don't know why.
After exchanging names, the distance between the two of them seemed to be getting closer. Liu Qinghuan took this opportunity to ask: "Did the three of you just meet in the past few days?"
Yuan Ya stood up and said: "Yes, so fellow Taoists have agreed to join? It will be easier for us to find a way out together."
Liu Qinghuan nodded and agreed: "Naturally."
It was too far away from the Great Mirage, so he felt that instead of covering his head and heading south, it was better to figure out the situation first. Otherwise, he would be caught and thrown into the war between the two realms before he ran very far. That would be
Helping the enemy to beat one of our own.
And by first following some local monks with low-level cultivation, he can somewhat conceal his true identity and obtain more information at the same time.
"Well, let's change the place and talk in detail." Yuan Ya said: "This place is on the only road from Lubai City to the Black Claw Mountains. Maybe a big force will pass by at some time, and that will be bad."
She walked to the door of the tea shop and poked her head out to check what was going on outside.
Xu Shida whispered to Liu Qinghuan: "The three of us have found a relatively safe place and will discuss the next steps in detail."
Liu Qinghuan naturally had no objections and just followed silently.
The four of them left the small village and wandered through the mountains for a long time before arriving at a low mountain.
Guo Xu took the lead, pushed aside the tangled grass, led everyone into a small natural cave, and then opened the concealment circle.
"Okay, this place is relatively remote and close to the waters of Fufu. There are very few people who will walk this way." Yuan Ya said, waving his sleeves to the ground, and there was a set of mahogany tables and chairs placed in the center of the cave:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please."
Liu Qinghuan thanked her and asked, "Can you tell me your plans now?"
Xu Shida was a little impatient and immediately replied: "We plan to walk from the Fufu waters, detour to Ningzhou, and then go to Guice City."
"Efu waters..." Liu Qinghuan repeated, thinking about the location of this route on the map.
But obviously the other three people misunderstood and thought he was hesitating.
Guo Xu took out a jade fan and shook it while saying: "Fellow Daoist Zhang is a ghost cultivator. Are you still afraid of entering the waters of evil? Maybe you can find the bones or souls of powerful monsters in it. That's okay."
It’s a great supplement.”
Liu Qinghuan said: "So, this is why you came to me."
Xu Shida laughed: "I have to admit that those annoying evil corpses are indeed very difficult to deal with."
"Okay, what do I need to do?"
Yuan Ya said: "It's okay. You just need to lead us to avoid those evil corpses."
With the cultivation of these people, they dared to enter the evil waters. No matter how dangerous it was, it would not be too dangerous. He just nodded lightly, but said nothing.
Yuan Ya continued: "And from here, you can go directly to Ningzhou through Suoyun Road. I heard that the Bu family in Guice City did not participate in the team attacking the alien world this time, and maintained its usual indifferent attitude.
.As long as we get there, Fellow Daoist Guo can take us into the city and be protected. As for other immortal cities, such as Lubaicheng, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid the fate of being forced to participate in the war."
"Suoyun Dao?" Xu Shida frowned for a long time and waited patiently for her to finish speaking before he said dissatisfiedly: "You two never told me that you wanted to follow Suoyun Dao!"
Yuan Ya said unhurriedly: "Taking Suoyun Road is the shortest distance, otherwise we would have to detour through two states, which would waste too much time."
"But that's Suoyun Dao!" Xu Shida emphasized. He looked at Liu Qinghuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, our cultivation is about the same. What do you say?"
Liu Qinghuan sleeved her hands and said calmly: "I don't care."
Xu Shida looked uncertain, and Guo Xu said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, if you are worried about Gang Feng and Moon Shadow Beast in Suoyun Dao, don't forget. Don't forget that Yuan Daoyou is from the Beast Taming Sect. Even if she is only an outer disciple, the Moon Shadow Beast is not here yet."
What’s next?”
The latter sentence was asked to Yuan Ya, and the other party nodded and said: "Indeed. Maybe I don't have the ability to capture and control the moon shadow beasts, but I can still drive them away. The Beast Control Sect has a medicinal powder,
The moon shadow beast hates its smell the most. As long as you sprinkle it on your body, they will not come near. I will give each of you a portion."
"Good." Guo Xu smiled.
Xu Shida's hesitation did not fade away, but he said nothing and just sat down silently.
"Zhang Daoyou, what about you?" Yuan Ya asked, "Do you have any other ideas? Speak up and we will discuss it together."
Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure Guice City is neutral?"
"Of course. Haven't you, fellow Taoist, heard about the omen given by the Divination family after this attack on another world?"
Liu Qinghuan was recalling the information about Guice City and the Divination family. He only knew that this seemed to be a very mysterious family that had made a living from divination for generations. He didn't know much more, let alone any omens.
However, he looked slightly stunned: "You mean..."
Yuan Ya only nodded to him inexplicably, but did not intend to elaborate.
Guo Xu shook his head and said: "I suspect that is just an excuse from the Bu family. Every time they don't want to interfere with something, they just refer to the ancestral teachings or give random vague prophecies."
"Ignore him, as long as you know that Guice City is accessible." Yuan Ya said, taking out a map, and several people discussed the route in detail.
At dawn the next day, the four of them walked out of the cave and headed southeast.
Three days later, the front suddenly opened up. At first glance, it looked like a flat grassland, with knee-high weeds spread out like a blanket, and many rivers in the middle.
However, this is just an illusion. All the weeds grow in the water, and a foot or two below is the black, smelly and eating mud. Further away, it looks like a dirty ink painting, and the gray mist blocks the scenery further away.
.
Liu Qinghuan could feel the faint aura of death flowing everywhere, as well as the monster beasts lurking quietly in the water plants and mud.
Only then did he realize that Xu Shida seemed to be an alchemist and gave each person a crystal-white elixir: "This is to prevent the death energy from invading the body, but Fellow Daoist Zhang may not need it."
Having said that, he still handed one over.
Liu Qinghuan took it unceremoniously and smelled it, thinking that he might be able to get some pills from the Yin and Moon Blood Realm from this person later.
"Zhang Daoyou, can you lead the way?" Yuan Ya stepped forward and asked.
She had released a majestic eagle with golden eyes, and was stroking its feathers very tenderly.
Liu Qinghuan took a second look and decided to enter the waters of Fufu first.
A gentle breeze came, bringing with it the rotten smell unique to the swamp, as well as some unexplainable pungent smell.
